Design and Technology

Learning Design and Technology at school helps to prepare students for living and working in a technological world.  It stimulates both intellectual and creative abilities, develops skills in communication, problem solving, the application of number, and information technology, and develops the personal qualities needed to complete a design project from initial ideas to finished product.

If you have any further questions about Design and Technology then please contact Craig Gwilliam - head of Design and Technology via email on: cgwilliam@warminsterschool.org.uk
